Our men’s and women’s track and field teams opened their outdoor season this past weekend at Washington and Lee University. Both the men’s and women’s teams had top finishers including Chamberlain Zulauf finishing eighth in the 5000m and Micah Ray finishing third in the 400m for the men’s. On the women’s side, Lindsey Baxter took second in the pole vault and Jennifer Calascione took third in the shot put. The teams will take a trip down to Highpoint, N.C. this weekend.
